Hi, I need some help in moving my files from desktop pc (windows xp) to new laptop (windows 7). I googled it and it seems it can be done by usb but looks complicated, Can anyone help please?

Hi M8

Use the in-built files and settings transfer wizard from xp - programs - accessories - system tools - click on this icon - or access it from the windows help system - it will
guide you through all the stages of transfer - i've used it on numerous occasions
- it saves plenty time and hair loss!

If you are migrating from XP to windows 7, then you need to download the latest transfer utility for XP called Windows Easy Transfer, this can be downloaded from microsoft here,

Download details: Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7

You are best off creating a backup file on the local disk of the PC then use USB to copy file to the new laptop and restore from the file.
